Neighbor has one of these for sale pretty cheap. Any good Bronco transplants to be found on a Lincoln? Pretty sure it's a 302/RWD.

Probably 302 and AOD. If it is injected, it will be throttle body.

Really nothing special nor desirable about it. The AOD is the first generation that had a bad oiling issue that generally destroys the planetary gears. The block might have provisions for a roller cam. '85 was the first year for the block but that does not mean that all '85s got that block. Only the mustang got the roller cam in '85. If it is injected, there is zero support for it. The accessory drive is probably serpentine, but a 2-belt system in standard rotation waterpump.
